What kind of headers came with your truck?

[mmmikkke]

When I bought my 2005 2500HD in February, I think I remember seeing welded tubular steel headers on one other 2500HD truck on the dealer's lot that I popped the hood on. Cool, I thought.

 

Well when I took delivery on my truck, I didn't check under its hood, until later that night. My headers are cast iron.

 

Any idea why some have cast iron, and some have welded tubular headers?

 

Please only participate in this poll if you have the 6.0L in the 2500HD or 3500, any model year.

Mine are cast iron, and have a tin shroud over them.

Mine are cast iron with the tin heat shield over them also.I've never seen any tubular steel ones from the factory,and since I work at a dealer I see a lot of trucks.

they are all cast iron with a tin shield. the only tubular manifolds are aftermarket.

Maybe someone with an 8.1 will post. I seem to recall the 8.1 came with the tube headers.

8.1's come with cast manifolds with tin heatshields also.

I have never seen any new vehicles come with anything but cast headers....but maybe it is just me....

Ok, I must have been halucinating. At least now I don't feel like I got cast iron by accident. Looks like they *all* are cast iron.

 

Thanks to all for their replies (and poll responses).
